Kattojärjestön

Kattojärjestön is a Finnish term that translates to "roof organization" or "umbrella organization." It refers to an association or group that unites and represents several other smaller organizations or groups within a particular sector or field. These umbrella organizations typically aim to coordinate activities, advocate for common interests, and provide a unified voice for their member organizations. Their purpose is often to strengthen the collective influence and capabilities of the individual entities they represent.

Kattojärjestön can be found in various contexts, such as in the non-profit sector, professional associations, or even within political movements. They might engage in lobbying efforts, organize training or educational programs for their members, facilitate networking opportunities, or conduct research that benefits the entire sector. The formation of a kattojärjestön can lead to greater efficiency and a more cohesive approach to addressing shared challenges and opportunities. Member organizations retain their autonomy while benefiting from the collective strength and resources of the larger umbrella body.
